The appointments of the police force

Council was then adjourned by the
mayor and the aldermen and spectators
withdrew to the lobby and the streets
and discussed the mayors appoint
ments.
The new city attorney gives general
pleasure to all.
The new engineer, Maury. they said,
would have to be tried first. Maury has
excellent credentials, though.
City marshal, city doctor. treasurer,
all satisfy the popular choice, as do the
ditch commissioners.
The people were not so pleased with
the appointment of market master, or
the nomination of CassisnO and Captain
Mccall, thinking that the present incum-
bents, Captain Hughes and Mr.. Frasch,
two good and faithful officers, can
not be spared.
A good deal Of kicking from the friends
of several of the decaptated policemen
is being INDUCED in also.
There are several smal-fry offices yet
to be heard from-such as police clerk,
night clerk at the police station. jailer,
public weigher, park keeper, and inspec-
tor of weights aud measures.
